Friedman: “But a few things. Like so, to begin with, I did need to mention one in every of the more interesting stories I heard within the aftermath of last couple days was, Brayden Schenn accepted a trade to the Recent York Islanders. And as many individuals saw, the Islanders and the Blues were actually staying at the identical hotel out west.
Well, they weren’t sure that Schenn was going to take this deal. And what happened was the Islanders asked Mathieu Darche and Patrick Roy, could we meet with Schenn face-to-face and refer to him about why he should join our team.

And I told someone that story today, they usually were like, there was no way Patrick Roy was letting Schenn get out of that room without saying yes to the Islanders. However it was in that meeting that they convinced Schenn to say yes. And that was the ultimate thing that got that Brayden Schenn deal over the road.
It was a crazy week in St Louis. I mean, someday we’re going to seek out out, like, just what number of deals out of that team were, because I don’t think Parayko was the one trade that was vetoed out of there. I believe there have been some others.”
Ron MacLean: “Yeah, that was the thing. It’s a favourite day for the fan, for the journalists, I suppose it’s his favorite day. But for the stakeholders, it was a tricky week. The Parayko situation, the John Carlson, you already know, sleeping and finds out in the midst of the night he’s been traded.
What do you think that the fallout goes to be, Elliotte? Do you think that the very fact there’s 30% of the players with contract negotiated, no movement, no trade? Do you think that it’d be an enormous push to eliminate that? What do you think that goes to be?”
Friedman: “Well, we’re still a couple of years away from the following CBA, however it’s interesting. Like, I had agents and players say to me, like, we fight for those, and we might expect the players union to fight that we still have the choice to fairly negotiate those.

And I had some teams say to me that we, possibly we’ve got to be secure from ourselves, but we’ve got to chop these down. And it’s a bit away. But I used to be told today that within the last, I used to be told today that there have been a couple of teams that went to the league and said, ‘Can we do something about this?’ And clearly it wasn’t a large enough deal for it to be handled.”
